[s-cars] RE: rear view mirror remount >>> Windshield replacement

[Krasusky Paul (WQQ2PXK)]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!  Looking forward to being able to see
again (first time in YEARS of different cars, all sandblasted).  I can
still see ghost images of my autox and / or drag race numbers on it now,
yeaaars later.  Pathetic.

I got a Pilkington when my glass broke at 110K. They're OEM for Ford,
Jag, etc. and one of the european glass services here recommended it.
Seems fine.
